Sentence examples for of soil mass from inspiring English sources

Moreover, the contribution of soil mass in the dynamic motion of foundations is often neglected.

For different clear spacing (S) between the tunnels, the stability of tunnels is expressed in terms of a non-dimensional stability number (γmaxH/c); where H is tunnel cover, c refers to soil cohesion, and γmax is maximum unit weight of soil mass which the tunnels can bear without any collapse.

Soil profile truncation occurs through loss of soil mass on convexities and in the upper areas of the cultivated hillslopes; while the opposite effect takes place in concavities and the lower areas of the field where the original soil profile becomes buried.

The variation of σi/c with horizontal earthquake acceleration coefficient (αh) has been established for different combinations of H/D, γD/c and ϕ where (i) H and D refers to tunnel cover and diameter, respectively, and (ii) γ and ϕ correspond to unit weight and internal friction angle of soil mass, respectively.

In the main food production area of lower Liaohe River Plain in Northeast China, a field manipulation of PyOM addition was initiated in 2013 to examine how the intensities (0, 1%, 3%, and 5% of 0 20 cm soil mass) and frequencies (3% of soil mass applied once versus yearly for 3 years) of PyOM amendment affected soil chemical properties.

The soil mass and the movement of soil mass focuses on the soil nails to shear force in addition to axial forces [7].

The water content refers to the ratio of water mass to soil mass, as shown in Table 1.

Soil compaction involves a reduction in volume of the soil mass instead of settlement, which has been considered as one of the most important methods to increase geomaterials' strength in geotechnical engineering practice.

The surface of the rupture of the soil mass is sandstone, which also crops out immediately adjacent to the landslide (Fig. 10).

The disadvantage of the Winkler model is its simulation of soil pressure in terms of absolute pipe displacement neglecting the impact of rigid body movements of the soil mass (Trickey and Moore, 2007).

The plastic and cohesive properties of fine sediments are due to that part of the soil mass that is fine enough and of specific area sufficiently large for the surface physicochemical forces to become dominant.
